Why colonize space? Because we are dealing in absolutes. We are dealing in
returns, increasing returns (the frontiers and resources of the solar system
and beyond that a possibly unlimited Universe) over diminishing returns (the
ever growing, ever increasing weight of, totalitarian tyrannies of
unworkable imposed resource "conservation" and "efficiency" (and the even
more -- proven -- unworkable totalitarian tyrannies of "POPULATION
CONTROLS!" a.k.a., "POPULATION MANAGEMENT!")). State controls over all human
activity, even 'thought'. Human activity management. Power corrupts, and
absolute power corrupts absolutely (tyranny corrupts, and absolute tyranny
corrupts absolutely).

What is "conserved" today, there will still be less of tomorrow, and even
less the day after, needing ever more "conservation." That is TYRANNY
absolute. Efficiencies imposed today will still require more and greater
efficiencies being imposed tomorrow, and even more and even greater
efficiencies being imposed the day after. That is TYRANNY absolute. And
there will be selective waivers regarding conservation and efficiency.
Waivers for the "more equal" than the "equal." Waivers for the so-called
"needy" at the [increased] expense of all the rest. Waivers for any and all
"chosen" of the 'powers that be' of the state at the [increased] expense of
all the rest. The ever [increasing] expense over an ever increasing time of
imposed conservation and -- so-called -- efficiencies. Power corrupts.
Tyranny corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Absolute tyranny
corrupts absolutely.

Crimes and wars are going to increase orders of magnitude in numbers and
intensities. Every household on Earth is going to be at war eventually,
within and without. Every community. Every nation. Every bureaucracy as
well. A naked singularity of one world shrunken in all times between all its
parts, especially a naked singularity of "One World" and "One World [ism],"
is an absolute tyranny -- an absolute power of tyranny -- in being just to
start with, never mind that world being enclosed within an total
authoritarian Iron Curtain to keep in all so-called weapons of mass
destruction whatsoever "for the good of all mankind."

The pen-ultimate "weapon of mass destruction" is life. The ultimate weapon
of mass destruction is intelligent life. Intelligence correlates to the vast
total variation of all of the rest of life put together...all variation
merged into just one single species of it equal to the entire pyramid -- the
spawning from this merger of all into one, intelligence. There is no more an
implosively / explosively volatile combustible in existence anywhere even
when simply tyrannized for too long, much less total authoritarianly
tyrannized for way too long. "For the good of all mankind" is not nearly
enough excuse to keep any peace whatsoever upon one world and one world
only, much less an artificial "One World" (tied to an artificial "One
Worldism") growing by leaps and bounds in restrictions and constrictions
imprisoned, thus enslaved, within a state made artificial Iron Curtain.
Tyranny spawns tyrannies within it like a supervirus. Iron Curtain spawns
innumerable iron curtains within itself like an impossibly impenetrable
labyrinthian maze of barriers being in being to doing anything whatsoever
positive. It spawns inertial Hell.
